Edmund Shellard, Direct of Arts at DCSZ:

It is with great joy and pride that we reflect on the tremendous success of the recently concluded Dulwich Festival of Music. With over 250 students from 9 schools participating, this year's festival marked a significant milestone as the biggest event of its kind and the first festival in four years.

As hosts of this remarkable gathering, we were privileged to witness the convergence of a new generation of talented students and dedicated teachers. Together, they experienced firsthand the brilliant opportunities that come with being part of a family of schools across Asia. The festival also served as a testament to the profound impact that music can have in uniting and inspiring individuals from different backgrounds.

Edgar Zillmann, Head of Events and Educational Partnerships:

The recently concluded music event was nothing short of a harmonious convergence of talent and camaraderie, with over 250 students and staff from nine different schools participating in three days of rehearsals and a breathtaking gala concert. Beyond the resounding melodies and impeccable performances, the true essence of the event lay in the invaluable connections forged among these young musicians. As they joined forces, students from diverse backgrounds not only shared musical expertise but also cultivated meaningful social bonds, enriching their overall experiences. The collaborative spirit extended beyond the students to the accompanying music teachers, who found themselves immersed in a community of peers. This gathering provided a unique platform for educators to exchange ideas, techniques, and inspirations, fostering a professional network that transcends individual school boundaries. In this celebration of music, the event not only showcased the collective talent of the students but underscored the importance of unity, shared learning, and the transformative power of music education in the EiM family.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all the students, teachers, and staff who played a vital role in making this festival a resounding success across our family schools. Congratulations to students, staff and families from:
